Flight-Viz – 10K flights on a 3D globe in 3.5MB of Rust+WASM
by coolwulf·Apr 1, 2026·101 points·44 comments
AI Analysis
●●SolidEye CandyWizardry
10K flights in 3.5MB WASM bundle is impressive constraint engineering for browser rendering.
Strengths
- •3.5MB bundle size for 10K real-time aircraft is genuinely tight optimization work.
- •Rust+WASM architecture enables native-level performance entirely client-side.
- •Interactive 3D globe with search, filtering, and weather overlays runs smoothly.
Weaknesses
- •Flight tracking visualization is solved by FlightRadar24 and FlightAware already.
- •Novelty showcase without clear use case beyond technical demonstration.

Post Description
I built a real-time flight tracker that renders 10,000+ aircraft on an interactive 3D globe, entirely in the browser using Rust compiled to WebAssembly.

Photorealistic flight simulator in 1 HTML file
Packaging photorealistic city flyovers into one downloadable HTML demo is the project's killer move — instant launch, no account, and a surprisingly complete HUD with instrument readouts and selectable aircraft. It's clearly engineered for spectacle (fast streaming tiles/shaders and in-browser audio) and works as a demo of what's possible on the web; what it doesn't yet sell as are deep flight physics, multiplayer, or long-form persistence, so treat it as a technical showpiece with real play value.
